The man nurtured a budding chanteuse and brought her music to the world, but when their relationship soured, he went to destructive lengths to control her through the music. Am I describing The Phantom of the Opera or Scooter Braun’s machinations against Taylor Swift? You be the judge. Today in news we didn’t see coming, Braun and The Phantom of the Opera have converged in a surprising way. Braun’s SB Projects has teamed up with Bohemian Rhapsody screenwriter Anthony McCarten for Phantom, a contemporary adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, Le Fantome de l’Opera, which memorably inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical, The Phantom of the Opera, now looming large as Broadway’s longest-running show. “It will be a contemporary version of the story, incorporate contemporary themes, and a new musical soundtrack drawing on some of the biggest recording talent.” “The basic idea that lured me in was the chance to brush the cobwebs off a 110 year old tale, and return it to its roots in suspense and horror,” McCarten said. Karimloo joins the four Phantoms in singing 'The Music of the Night,' along with both casts and creative teams. If you’re expecting Webber’s soaring melodies and ominous organ riffs, don’t get your hopes up. Brightman then sings 'The Phantom of the Opera' with Colm Wilkinson, Anthony Warlow, Peter Jöback, and John Owen-Jones. Surely this is where Braun comes into play, bringing his roster of A-list musical talent to the project, including artists like Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Kanye West, and Usher. Are we going to get a Justin Bieber love theme? An Usher slow jam played over the modern equivalent of ingénue Christine Daae and the phantom canoodling in the catacombs? McCarten was tight-lipped, but teased an all-star soundtrack. “You’re aware of everyone on the list,” McCarten said. We’re aiming to do something quite groundbreaking with music and the score, and something that may also be new for the artists themselves.
